Julian Lerner is a fast-rising talent whose charm, versatility, and screen presence have captivated audiences across film, television, and stage. He stars as the witty and lovable Ray in Disney's Zombies 4: Dawn of the Vampires, the latest installment of the hugely popular Disney Channel Original Movie franchise. Fans will also recognize Julian as Brad Hitman, Dean's best friend, from ABC's reboot of The Wonder Years.

Julian broke out in Netflix's Yes Day, playing opposite Jennifer Garner, Edgar Ramirez, and Jenna Ortega. The film quickly became one of the platform's biggest hits in its category, watched in nearly 53 million households worldwide. He recently starred in Monster Summer, a fantasy-adventure film now streaming as the #1 movie on Paramount+, where he plays a brave teen who teams up with friends and a retired detective (Mel Gibson) to battle a supernatural force.

On stage, Julian wowed New York audiences as The Artful Dodger in Oliver! at New York City Center, and previously toured nationally as Gavroche in Les Misérables.

Julian's voice has become a familiar favorite among families: for three seasons, he voiced Lucas in PBS's hit animated series Alma's Way, and he portrays young Brian Cox in the sci-fi podcast From Now (available on Apple Podcasts and Spotify). His additional voice credits include Escape from Virtual Island on Audible and Netflix's animated Dragon Quest adaptation.

In addition to his acting career, Julian is also a musical artist. He recently released his debut and sophomore singles, "Dead End" and "Velvet," which has helped him reach an impressive milestone of over two million monthly listeners on Spotify. His music reflects the same emotional depth and creativity that define his performances, adding a new dimension to his growing fanbase.
